That is honestly one of the finest lay explanations of the difficulties with a medical malpractice action that I have ever read. Extremely well stated!

Would you mind e-mailing me your case caption? I'd very much like to read the appellate opinion.

I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888

Btanchors has described the reality of a med-mal case quite well.

The sharing of knowledge and experience in this forum is just awesome.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Thank you all for allowing me to vent on this forum - even 15 years after the fact, it's still cathartic to tell this story. I realized while looking up the information for BurtonRW, we actually settled everything in 2002, not 2001 like I indicated above - so it took 6 years post injury.

Anyway, in an effort to be as balanced as I can, I often wonder how my wife and I would have felt had we NOT pursued this case. I suspect we always would have wondered what would have happened. In a sense, I suspect had we not have pursued it, we would have regretted not pursuing it as well. So it's one of those experiences where there would have been regrets regardless of what you decide.

It all starts with a consultation with a Mal Practice attorney, as others have stated, particularly BurtonRW. If your attorney says you have no case, it ends there, and at least you tried.

As a former boss of mine once said, it's another damn learning experience. Good luck and keep us posted!
